Maurice Lewis is an up and coming photographer based in Ontario.
For me, photography has always been about capturing the moments that speak to the heart: the smile that grows as you flip through old photographs, the laughter that bubbles up as stories unfold, the sense of peace in remembering a time when everything felt just right.
Personal Journey
Photography is my way of preserving these beautiful, fleeting moments of joy and perfection. From an early age, capturing portraits became my passion—I’ve been photographing faces and stories since I was 12. Along the way, I had the privilege of learning from people who saw something in me that I hadn’t yet seen in myself. My mentor through the Big Brother, Big Sister program taught me that art can be more than a pastime; it’s a calling and a career worth investing in. My high school photography teacher, who gave me not only technical skills but also the confidence to see my potential, guiding me to make sense of the world through my lens.

Artistic Vision
Photography is my voice when words fall short. It’s how I process and express the beauty I see in the world. My approach blends spontaneity and thoughtfulness, capturing moments that are both candid and authentic. Artistically, I strive to make every shot a window into an emotion, a memory, or a story that might otherwise slip away.
Professional Philosophy
As a professional, my goal is to give clients the gift of these preserved memories—the laughter, the peace, the perfection of a moment captured as it was. I want my clients to feel that sense of nostalgia and joy as they look back on their photos, to have their stories told in the most genuine way possible.
Based in Hamilton, I work with clients locally and am always open to traveling for projects. Whether it’s a family portrait, a special event, or simply a moment worth remembering, I’m honored to capture it and make it last.
